Ionic mechanisms of dendritic spikes (Almog and Korngreen 2014)

We used a combined experimental and numerical parameter peeling procedure was implemented to optimize a detailed ionic mechanism for the generation and propagation of dendritic spikes in neocortical L5 pyramidal neurons.
Run the cc_run.hoc to get a demo for dendritic calcium spike generated by coincidence of a back-propagating AP and distal synaptic input.

To run demo compile the mod files (mknrndll (mswin and mac) or
nrnivmodl (linux/unix) start cc_run.hoc with the method appropriate to
your platform (double click (mswin),drag and drop onto nrngui icon
(mac) or "nrngui cc_run.hoc" on the command line (unix/linux).
